Duratec Expands Presence Across Energy Transition and Infrastructure Markets

Duratec is an Australian engineering, construction and remediation contractor specialising in assessment, protection, remediation and refurbishment services for infrastructure and industrial assets.

The company operates across several sectors, including Defence, Commercial Building and Facade, Infrastructure, Mining and Industrial, Power and Energy.

With operations across Australia, Duratec combines engineering capabilities with project delivery experience and uses in-house assessment technologies, including 3D capture and modelling tools with predictive analysis capabilities.

The latest contract awards highlight the company’s ability to apply its specialist capabilities across a range of industries, including emerging energy infrastructure markets and established asset maintenance sectors.

The company noted that the awards support its ongoing strategy of expanding its presence in sectors where asset protection, remediation and complex infrastructure delivery requirements remain important.

Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub Contract Supports Energy Transition Strategy

One of the key additions to Duratec’s latest contract portfolio is the construction management contract awarded at Orica’s Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub (HVHH).

The project represents an important step in Duratec’s expansion into future energy and fuel infrastructure markets.

Through the contract, Duratec will support the delivery of a project connected with Australia’s developing hydrogen industry and broader industrial decarbonisation efforts.

The company stated that the award builds on its recent acquisitions in the Hunter Region, which have established local workforce capability, supply chain access and delivery capacity within an important energy corridor.

This regional presence is expected to support Duratec’s ability to self-perform project activities and participate across different stages of project delivery.

Duratec Managing Director Chris Oates highlighted that the Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub provides an opportunity for the company to demonstrate its capability in delivering complex infrastructure projects by combining local capability with internal project expertise.

Perth Airport Fuel Infrastructure Project Adds Aviation Opportunity

Alongside the hydrogen project, Duratec has secured early contractor involvement (ECI) services for Perth Airport’s Jet Fuel Expansion Program through its 50:50 joint venture with West Coast Civil, known as the Duratec West Coast Civil Joint Venture (DWJV).

The contract involves supporting the design phase of the Jet Fuel Expansion Program on behalf of Perth Airport Pty Ltd.

The DWJV scope includes design activities associated with fuel farm facilities and hydrant lines.

The ECI phase is scheduled to commence immediately and is expected to continue for approximately six months.

Duratec noted that while the ECI stage represents an important project opportunity, it may also provide access to additional downstream work packages.

According to the company, these potential future opportunities could provide broader value through its subsidiaries and integrated capability offering if secured.

Fremantle Ports Remediation Contract Extends Marine Infrastructure Pipeline

Duratec has also secured a wharf infrastructure remediation project from Fremantle Port Authority as part of the Kwinana Bulk Jetty upgrade.

Located in Kwinana, Western Australia, the Kwinana Bulk Jetty supports the import and export of bulk cargoes and liquids and is one of three port facilities operated by Fremantle Ports.

Under the awarded scope, Duratec will undertake design, construction and commissioning works involving cathodic protection and concrete repairs.

The project is aimed at extending the operational life of the existing infrastructure asset.

The works are scheduled to commence immediately and are expected to run for approximately 30 months.

The contract adds further depth to Duratec’s marine infrastructure capabilities and highlights the company’s involvement in maintaining and improving critical infrastructure assets.

Rio Tinto Gove Project Adds Long-Term Mining Sector Exposure

Duratec has further expanded its mining and industrial portfolio through the award of the Gove Structural Integrity Remediation Services project at Rio Tinto’s bauxite export facilities in Nhulunbuy, Northern Territory.

The project has been awarded under a new Master Services Contract Agreement (MCSA) with a three-year contract term.

The scope includes remediation and structural strengthening works for wharf infrastructure to support continued operation of existing assets.

The first package of work was scheduled to commence in June 2026, with completion expected in late 2026.

The contract reinforces Duratec’s established role in providing specialist remediation services for large-scale industrial assets.

Contract Portfolio Highlights Broad Sector Capability

The four new awards demonstrate Duratec’s ability to secure work across multiple sectors, including energy transition infrastructure, aviation, marine assets and mining operations.

The company continues to focus on leveraging its engineering and remediation expertise across projects requiring specialised asset management capabilities.

The combination of established infrastructure markets and emerging energy opportunities provides Duratec with exposure to different areas of infrastructure development and maintenance.

The company stated that these awards reflect continued demand for its specialist remediation, infrastructure and engineering services.

Strategic Expansion Builds on Local Capability and Delivery Expertise

Duratec’s latest project wins also reflect the company’s focus on strengthening regional capability and expanding its service offering.

The Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub contract, in particular, highlights the company’s move into future energy infrastructure markets.

By building local workforce capacity and supply chain access, Duratec aims to improve its ability to deliver projects in key industrial regions.

The company’s integrated capabilities across engineering, construction and remediation allow it to participate in projects from early design involvement through to construction and commissioning activities.

What This Means for Investors?

Duratec’s latest contract awards provide further visibility into its expanding project pipeline across energy, marine and mining sectors.

The approximately $70 million combined value of the four projects strengthens the company’s exposure to infrastructure opportunities while supporting its position as a specialist engineering and remediation contractor.

The Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub contract introduces additional exposure to emerging energy markets, while projects with Perth Airport, Fremantle Ports and Rio Tinto reinforce Duratec’s presence across established infrastructure sectors.

Investors will likely continue monitoring project execution, potential additional work opportunities and Duratec’s ability to convert its growing pipeline into sustained business activity.
